I actually contacted Emil Dolensek and the staff there and begged them to take me on as an intern, or what they called an extern at that point. A student, basically, a vet student coming on. And they had a program there, it was one of the few programs at that time. But I was lucky enough to get in there, blessed to get into there and work with Dr. Emil Dolensek, who was a crochety veterinarian, but great clinician. He was a hoot. I mean, I enjoyed him, because I like personalities, I like characters, and my upbringing with the boys and being treated like a boy, I was actually more comfortable with men than women. And so I could work with Emil, and Emil and I got along really, really well. So I was there for six months as a student.
